Party Reorganizations Impacted By July Primary Delayed By Murphy

NEW JERSEY – Governor Phil Murphy signed a new executive Tuesday to clarify some rules around the postponement of annual municipal and county party committee reorganization meetings.

The new order makes clear that the delay is only applicable to municipal party committees and county party committees that held elections during the July primary elections.

“Due to the mostly vote-by-mail primary that was held amid ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I postponed municipal and county party committee meetings as some local elections were undecided,” Murphy said. “Today’s order clarifies that municipal party committees and county party committees that did not have an election can conduct their annual meetings as originally scheduled.”

As of Tuesday, many ballots still needed to be counted and certified.
